Which Macbook Pro 15 "should I get?

Currently I have a Macbook Pro with the Retina display and it does not cut it 13 ". I need a CD/DVD port and a lot more storage that I have now. Until I sell my current laptop and get a new one, I try to understand that it is my best result. I'm in College so I can't really afford to go out and buy the new 15 "Macbook Pro. So, my question is, which most aged 15 "Macbook Pro should get? I'm a major movie and use my laptop a LOT. In addition, new operating systems work on the older pro macbook? Thank you!

    I just got an alarm flashing indicating that I had a virus on my MacBook pro.  Could not get rid of it, until I did a hard reboot.  Deemed scan of Malware for Mac software?  All this experience?

    These alarms are generally scam popups loaded from the Internet and is not caused by malicious software, but you should always look for other odd behavior or unexplained slowness.

    Hello! I've got CS3 Design Standard - real records and certificate of software license. It was installed on my laptop that crashed and could not be uninstalled. I have now installed it on my new MacBook Pro, but can't get it registered with the serial number. Is it because it has not been uninstalled on the previous laptop? What should I do now? THX!

    Maybe this can help someone else...  I had to simply properly uninstall CS3 and reinstall again after that.  I think what he sort!  I also remember having a similar problem with the Mac at work a couple of years back.  Not sure if it is the same for CS5/CS6.  Here is a link on how to properly uninstall CS3 on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Mac OS.  I'm on OS X 10.9.2 but it works beautifully.  Remove from Creative Suite 3 and CS3 products

  • Help. execution vmfusion 3.0.0 on MacBook Pro. Impossible to get upward on the side Task Manager PC

    I can barely work the side PC to my Mac but have worked successfully to quickbooks on the side PC for a year (somehow without any problems) but now have two versions of the race of the QB and must 1) save the file in the company of my old version of company of QB in order to remove it from the drive hard all together 2) open and run my Pro version 2012 I need to consume currently BUT that he don't can not open Pro 2012 at all (see the error message attached). Short term solution could be go into the Task Manager and stop smoking in the QB version that seems to work.

    See attached Instant Office.  I can't get either the version of QB to open again the error message tells me that one of the versions of QB is open.

    Cannot find a way to get the Task Manager (or even if it will solve my problem).  function of Ctrl-alt-delete does not seem to translate.  Is there some magical strokes on the mac keyboard to get the Task Manager to get on the side of the PC?

    I have a very rudimentary level of knowledge on the PC... that is probably obvious.

    Some would like to help.  Thanks in advance

  • What MacBook Pro is better for my situation?

    Hello, guys.

    Could you please help me decide which MacBook Pro is the best for my situation?

    Currently, I chose between these models:

    • MacBook Pro 15 "2.2 GHz / RAM 16 / 256 GB of storage / Iris Pro
    • MacBook Pro 15 "(2.8) of 2.5 GHz / RAM 16 / 256 GB of storage / Iris Pro"
    • MacBook Pro 15 "2.5 GHz / RAM 16 / 512 GB of storage / AMD Radeon R9 M370X (2 GB)

    I'll use the laptop for:

    • Webdesign. I work in Photoshop all day and it was sometimes messy (major projects, many of those open simultaneously, etc..). Theoretically, I would like for my laptop to be able to handle perfectly Photoshop, Illustrator and inDesign workflow, maybe even at the same time. Of course, all will be loaded up for the most part, but it should be imperceptible to work on projects of large size in Photoshop runs alone.
    • Audio engineering. Recording/mixing/mastering audio as a hobby, which may require use of the processor 4 do. My current laptop (2.3 GHz Dual Core Intel i5 - 2410 M) cannot manage even the basics of what I need for comfort work with audio. Usually it is around 10-15 tracks, stock and third-party plugins sometimes. I omit the part that the new laptop should have completely no problems with recording audio through audio interface (no cracks, dents, noises and other things caused by lack of CPU and RAM). I guess that each of these three Mac is capable of a fluent audio recording, the question arises on the comfortable audio processing in the future.
    • Navigation. I know that sounds ridiculous, but there are times that my laptop current can't live through an intense session of navigation. About 20-25 tabs with mixed content (text for most, a couple of video opened online). I use Google Chrome, which is quite noticeable on the CPU, but it's my personal preference in terms of browser.
    • Web development. I would like to be able to make everything about web development fast and easy. That shouldn't be the problem, since even my laptop current meets my needs developing. Just let it be worth mentioning.

    Given the above information, I can make a conclusion that I need:

    • Retina display, press each tiny pixel on the screen of work related to graphic design
    • Reasonably fast CPU and RAM

    Initially, the more powerful MacBook Pro (with default 2.5 GHz and AMD video card) seemed like a logical option. However, after reading about the AMD video card I noticed that it is still lower than the average of those on the market (judging on the benchmark). Therefore, it seems that there is no reason to pay more for just a video card, comparing to the stack by default a cheaper model (the 15 "MacBook Pro 2.2 GHz/256 GB of storage). 0.3 GHz of processor is imperceptible, and the lack of hard disk space may be justified by external USB storage or by configuring the cheaper model for more storage by itself. The main difference is the video card. Please, correct me if I'm wrong on this conclusions.

    Therefore, I came to decide what configuration is best with regard to the less expensive version of the MacBook Pro 15 ", the 2.2 GHz (default) or 2.5/2.8 GHz (configured). Consider the following:

    • I'm dependent on a budget; slice of 100 dollars, in fact, issue
    • My priority is a seamless workflow without any freeze for 5 minutes and loading/closing time take up to 10 minutes, as it does now
    • It is not important if a graphic/audio project takes longer to make, but it is important to work freely during production
    • I don't mind having an external USB storage, as long as he has a decent read/write speed (external USB flash are available for Macs, right?)
    • Design or audio are not my original recipes, rather a freelance opportunities or leisure

    I'd be really grateful if you could answer some of these questions and help me decide:

    • If I had to choose between 2.2 GHz to 2.8 GHz boost or 256 GB of storage on 512 GB, which is more reasonable storage boost?
    • Is there a really significant difference in the performance of the tasks that have been mentioned between 2.2 GHz and 2.5 GHz/2.8 GHz?
    • No AMD video card makes a huge difference in terms of working with graphics? (Of course, he does, but it would be nice to take a look at the difference in the form of a chart or a reference; if it is not dramatic, then pay more for the video card makes no sense for me)
    • Then Iris Pro (which comes with 2.2 GHz cheaper option) handle some minor games like World of Warcraft or Diablo 3? Not necessary on ultra or high settings, but on those that make the game playable and enjoyable. (Is not necessary, but it would have been a considerable advantage, because even though I'm not a hardcore gamer, it's nice to play some old games favorite from time to time)

    Thanks for your opinions and suggestions!

    If you select I would recommend 512 GB drive. Media projects can become very large, and I suspect that you also like to have pictures of the reserve, textures, etc available all the time. I'm not a professional graphic designer, but I create brochures and documents as well as videos of 15-20 minutes and on a 256 GB drive I will decide on a project, move everything turned off, and then start a new project. Sometimes, when I had several projects going at the same time I had to decide which awkward solution was the best.

    Video Intel Iris Pro is better than I expected and I can play Diablo 3 on my MBP to 2015 on higher than smaller settings. I always use CS 5.5 because I refuse to rent my graphics software, so I don't know the State of the current Adobe software but I know that some users are griping on the 3D graphics and lower end GPU processors. I suggest you check out the Adobe forums.

  • Emails are saved on MacBook Pro?

    I deleted emails on my MacBook Pro and need to get them back if possible. Emails have also been removed from my Qwest server as well.

    No they are not unfortunately - they may be on a time Machine up if you who have in place

  • Best new MacBook Pro for Fusion 3 + Windows 7 designs?

    Hello

    Thinking of getting a new MacBook Pro: probably the 13 inch with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB SSD drive, model so that I can run various test VM in quickly for the work.

    Is the NVIDIA GeForce 9400 M graphics good enough to chip for Windows 7 with Aero under Fusion 3?    Or is the MacBook Pro 15 inch worth getting just for the NVIDIA GeForce 9600 M chip graphic GT card?

    Is there any point of paying more for a slightly faster processor?  Model 13-inch offer 2.26 GHz or 2.53 GHz.  The 15-inch model has several choices, up to 3.06 GHz.

    I'm not really a player, but it would be nice to have a machine that was fast enough to play the occasional 3D game correctly!

    Any thoughts?

    -Martin.

    I own a fine 2.26 Ghz 13 '' MacBook Pro 4 GB and Aero factory with a 9400.  I'm a regular reader of pin no SSD, though. If you want I can run the Windows Experience index so you can compare my specs against other models.  Most of the latest models from Apple, including the latest minis can run Aero very well, if all you want is confirmation, if not, you make a subjective decision here.

  • Should I get a Macbook Pro or an iPad Pro to use for the next two years while I do my A-Levels?

    Hi all!

    So I am currently doing my GCSE, I'm looking to my future at school aka Sixth Form (A-Levels). I won't be carrying massive files that weigh tons and can easily broken / lost files kept in the breast, as do the current year. However, I checked with my school and they say that you can use the technology as an alternative. Instantly I thought to Apple, since I love their products and buy regular. I have a Apple Watch, 6 s iPhone and an iPad 2 Air (we sell) but I want something new and powerful, I can use for Sixth Form.

    So my question is, should I get a Macbook (any model) or a Pro iPad with accessories?

    I take:

    Technical design - so should run CAD, Word, be fundamentally powerful and able to have sketches.

    Media Studies - must be able to manage several videos 4K and execution of things such as Word, books, and iMovie.

    Geography-Easy access to the internet anywhere, possibility to draw diagrams and just to run applications etc and be good at watching documentaries, etc.

    Mathematics - internet access and video on good quality, easily be able to write notes and information.

    So which one should I buy? Please can you help me

    Given your needs, a MacBook Pro seems to be more appropriate.
